Hi, long time lurker here and I'm in quite of a predicament and I was hoping to get some advice. I've applied this year to several schools and got no interviews at all only rejections. This cycle is over for me at this point. I could do two things at this point. I can retake the DAT and go another cycle or I can do a SMP/Post bacc. Here are my stats OGPA,Science GPA, and BCPM is all around 3.29. For my DAT it is 17 TS and 18 AA. Any thoughts?

Use all the free resources available to you from SDN: articles, guides, expert advising, forums discussions, and school research.
You absolutely need to retake your DAT.
Also, trying calling the schools that rejected you and see if you can talk to someone about what you could do to improve your application. It might be better to hear about the DAT retake from them, not us.
Are you still in school and taking classes? Your GPA really isn't that bad, but the kicker is that it also combined with a below average DAT score.

Glimmer, I am in my final stretch where I have 7 credits left after this semester.
I agree, retake your DAT first and see where you stand, you can definitely get in somewhere with that GPA.
No sections below 17 =P
If I killed the dat would I not have to so a post bacc? That is my last resort.
Do well on the DAT. Your GPA is good enough for some schools.
